A Little Embarrasing...implant - What Size?



Recommended Posts

Good morning all,

I am heading out in less then a month to have my plastics done. Could someone help me with breast size? Everything I have read said that 70% of people that get implants wish they would have gone larger. So if I decide on a size I like..am i supposed to go up a size or two?

Also for anyone that had surgery in Mexico - Since we do not go for a consult until the day before, Do they let you "play" with the implants for a while to pick your size?

Thanks all!

Not being sleeved yet, I probably am the wrong person to answer but I personally like bigger breasts. I am a 44D pre-sleeve and wish I was a DD. Post surgery, I would go for a D cup because in high school, I was a C and it was too small for my liking.

I have always been large! Pre-sleeve I was a 42DD. In high school a full C. I am now wearing a B when it really could be smaller but refused to buy an A cup! lol

As a guy I'll tell you it's all about shape. Size is nice but comes in a distant 2nd place. I'd much rather play with some nice firm C cups than less than perky DD.

Wow a size 2-4? A size D cup would probably look porn-starish.. LOL

Perky C's sounds good and more in line with your new size.

And yes, bigger is definitely not always better.. We are all on here because of that..lol :)

Ten years ago when I was a size 2/4 I had smaller boobs than I do now...36DD. (that was my size at normal weight) Let me tell you, I hate my boobs...though they do dress up nicely :P I would kill for...or pay for if I were you, some nice perky C cups. You get boobs any bigger and they are the first thing that people look at. And while I typically didn't and dont look like a porn star :) I was limited to what I could wear. Anything low cut looks sleezy. Cross front tops and dresses dip way too low and look sleezy. Everything shows cleavage! Short of running around in a turtle neck it's tough to not have the girls be noticed before people look at your face. You can never run again...you'll knock yourself out, and it does make you unbalanced looking in many styles. Unfitted and you appear fat, fitted and you're all boob....

So, I vote C :) If I were going to have elective surgery ever again I'd go with a C myself. I'm 5 tall by the way. Red hair and boobs :P which is why my husband noticed me LOL But still...I'd let them go in a heart beat!

Remember that a cup size is just the inch difference between the measurement of your band and the fullest part of the breast! So a D cup on a smaller person is still the same four inch difference as it would be on a larger person.

I plan to have plastics once I'm done with this pregnancy and back at goal weight. I did a consult with a plastic surgeon a year ago, just to get ideas on what I'd have done and what to expect. At the time, I was of the mind that I'd love to have small breasts for once. I mean, I've been a C-D cup (up to a DD for most of my adult life) since grade school. So I was thinking about how nice it would be to wear all of those tops that I normally spill out of, and how nice it would be to have a wrap top look appropriate instead of being borderline inappropriate.

The doc said something that really rang true to me. If you've had large breasts for most of your life, it's very likely that you have incorporated them into your own personal feminine ideal. That they could be part of how you view your own femininity, and that being smaller breasted might make you feel insecure or somehow lacking in something you've taken for granted most of your life. This is NOT to say that big breasts are the feminine ideal or that small breasts aren't appealing! But if, like me, you've been toting big ones around your entire life and suddenly decide to stay a B cup, you might feel dissatisfied later on.

I can honestly say that now that I'm pregnant and sporting my previous busty glory of a DD/DDD, that in my case, he was ABSOLUTELY correct. I now know that when I have my implants done that I will go with my D or DD cup.

And he said the exact same thing to me about size, too. He said that he's never had a woman come back and complain that they were too big. More often women are sad when the swelling goes down or sad that they didn't choose the bigger size that they considered.

Just something to think on. Hopefully the OP's surgeon will allow time to experiment! The surgeon I saw had me wear two sports bras and play with some sizers, just to see what I thought.

Totally agree I am a 38D cup already thinking about implants and I have not been sleeved as of yet.

Don't go too big. I want to get smaller implants myself. They look more natural. I am hoping to get my implants changed next year.

If/when i get back to my weight in my 20's, I want to go back as a C. They fit me best. D's are just too big for a small body structure.

What about trying on bras in C, D and DD cups. Stuff them like a high schooler and try on different clothes and see how you feel about your looks. I think you can also try some of the "cup size enhancers" in the lingerie departments in the bras too.

Even when I was a size 4, I was a nice D cup - anything bigger would have been too much. A "full" C would have probably been fine too.

Good luck!

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL
